This concept paper is in response to calls for more excellent Servant leadership research. It was fueled by the fact that much research on Leadership has concentrated on transformational leadership and team leadership amid growing interest in Servant Leadership. Although the Servant leadership notion has been critiqued for its lack of empirical evidence, it is feasible in this age of unethical commercial practices.
